I dont even know where this idea came from #1


After pondering a moment about what to title this, I decided on making it a reoccurring theme. I felt that occasionally my trials ended in success, even if I don't know how and hopefully, there will be more than one!

Today is a scorcher. I didn't check the actual temp, but lets just say, wow! Hiding out in the ac is definitely preferable. Getting home I had a creole recipe I wanted to try, but that required a trip to the grocery store and I really didn't want to deal with that. Call it lazy, call it being economical-I don't care.

Sifting through my fridge I was trying to figure out what I could make. One sirloin steak thawed out, 1 red bell pepper, 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce, 1.5 cups homemade marinara (very chunky)...what can I do with all this? How about Dirty Rice?

I cook off the steak and cut up into very tiny pieces, make rice, saute red pepper and add spaghetti sauce and marinara, season with cajun seasoning and mix all together and BAM! Dirty Rice!

Its filling, a people pleaser and it got quite a few odd and ends out of my fridge!

Try it at your house!

  1. I gave a pint of this to a friend who just informed me that he LOVED the use of the sirloin! You gotta smile about a good review!
